Since free agency will start soon, I figured I start a thread so we can talk about where we'd like players to go as well as our hopes for the draft.

I will start off by saying I am a huge Vikings fan and I would love to see the Vikes pick up a WR in FA, either Mike Wallace or Greg Jennings. If I had to pick, I would go with Jennings because he wouldn't command as much money plus I think he's a more polished receiver than Wallace. The only problem is that we want to keep Harvin but he's gonna want top-dollar or he might hold out this summer. If not FA, then we will go to the draft. I like Keenan Allen but I just don't think he'll be available at 23. What do you guys think?

Jennings is good, but they need a good QB. Ponder's not it, although he's not bad. Their WRs are fine.

I'm a Browns fan; my best friend is a Vikes fan :) They have a tough division although getting in as a WC was a miracle. They needed to beat GB and did. Even though they lost a week later, they got in the dance.

We barely have any WRs and the only good one we have wants out. Peterson's not complaining though lol.

As a Steelers fan, I was disgusted after that hold-out business of last year especially considering Hines Ward was pushed out the door. Sorry never been a fan of Wallace. I think Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders are both better and at least don't drop the ball as much.

I agree, he wasn't that spectacular last season. The Steelers are a favorite of mine to watch but I think they're entering a re-building mode on the defensive side of the ball. Polamalu isn't the safety he used to be and their linebackers haven't been the dominating force they've been in years past. They'll be alright though because the coaching staff is top-notch, except for Todd Haley. I agreed with Big Ben last year when they hired him. I thought that was a bad move because I think the Steelers were clicking on offense and to change OC's wasn't a smart thing to do.

I think what they'll do is try to work out another deal with him. At his age, I don't think teams will be willing to sign him for the money he's asking. But in any case, it puts more pressure on the CB's we do have to perform better. I see the Vikings drafting a CB in the lower rounds.

Wallace was that deep threat that opened up the long ball for Brown, Sanders. Ben is solid but Haley wants a short-passing game and Ben's a vert passer like Weeden.
